Yeha, that's why I said the worst aggressors are the companies, but this doesn't mean that immigrants are free of guilt.
First, they are immigrating illegally, which isn't right. There's a lot of honest immigrants patiently waiting to be accepted, and these guys just say "fuck it" and break all the rules.
Second, they know they'll accept a low paying job as soon as they get their first offer. The money they are getting is a lot of money back home. It isn't a bad deal for them. After a few years they can go back home and be wealthy, even medium-high class. So it's not like they are in a bad deal.
Just because there is a big aggressor, doesn't mean there is a single aggressor.
That is where you are wrong. Not every migrant is illegally in the US. Many have work permits, nss and even back accounts. And yet, owners still find a way to abuse those.
In that scenario, the only aggressor is the business owner then. Legal immigrants should be paid the same as native workers.
I thought the post was talking about illegal immigration.
The image is only saying immigrants not illegal immigrants only.
But yeah, I mean, I am working legally, my last job they didn't want to pay me overtime, so I stop doing it, they they wanted to reduce my hours. I found some other work and I am doing twice the money that I made in the other job.
My opinion is that to see a real change, instead of blaming the illegals, first thing to do is to go after the owners who hire illegals, and I assure you that there won't be illegal immigration
